Chateau Tire Pe
David and Hélène Barrault
COUNTRY: France
REGION: Bordeaux
APPELLATION: AOC Bordeaux
The name “Côte de Tire Pé”’ comes from a daily agrarian scene well known by natives, according to which, beasts of burden would relieve themselves after strong efforts climbing to the estate, by dropping one: in French « tirer le pet ». Since the end of 1997, Hélène and David Barrault have been breathing new life into the outstanding plots of Château Tire Pé that are nestled on clay-limestone headlands south of Entre Deux Mers, 60 kilometers from Bordeaux.
They have followed organic methods of cultivation since 2008. They have been ECOCERT certified since the 2014 vintage (Tire Pé, Tir'osé, La Côte, and Malbecs). Most of the old vines are Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Malbec. Hélène and David’s pleasure comes from the respect, the attention, and the understanding they give this terroir so that it produces only the finest fruit that is full of balance, freshness, and typicity. Outstanding wines with texture and depth are rarely found in that area, which is best known for intense productivity and relative rusticity.
